All the grandkids were in town and all in one place … the perfect time to get fun beach photos (on a cloudy overcast, summer day in San Diego). This group of kids was a lot of fun. Rounding them all up was quite a fete. Two of those kids belong to my boys’ orthodontist (I am on Tucker with his rubber bands Trish:P). I think all five kids had fun racing, jumping and getting to run around all over the beach with each other. Here are some favorites from our time together.
Ok, not really sledding… the boys got these new boards for Christmas called Spooners. I think they are made here in San Diego. I had just done a shoot (sneak peek coming soon) in Del Mar at the beach and the sand was pushed up into big steep hills. Perfect for the boards. And today is amazingly beautiful. And I love the beach in December… love it. So I pulled my “Please don’t make us do anything but lay around the house” older boys and the fun loving “i’ll go anywhere” Slater to the beach. And this is what we did.
These were all shot with a little Sony cybershot… when you are used to full creative control with a very good camera, point and shoots kind of suck (and not really just kind of)
Kills me! …. he just got a haircut yesterday and while it is nothing, not even close, to how I asked the stylist to cut it, it turned out pretty stinkin’ cute. And I just can’t kiss him enough with his ‘little boy, turned big boy’ new look. He’s at that age where he likes going out to do pictures and he still gives me the fun candid, silly looks without the cheese. This first shot cost me a pack of smarties. I don’t even want to think what the older boys would charge me for taking their picture (the reason there are very few pictures of those two boys). But Slater… loves it.
… and the boy:)
And this shirt is even cuter with these on… Cute Boy Shoes. (the shirt is from Target… where all good things come from)
Summer is finally here. I hate school. And I am not even in it. The boys school work really gets in the way of my fun;) But thank goodness summer is here and we can do as we please. April and May is birthday time around here and all three boys are a year older. They are now 3, 12, and 14. I still haven’t taken their birthday pictures yet. So sad. This week… or maybe next. We’ll see. But I will do their photo shoots soon.
For now, here is a picture of Slater on his favorite birthday present… his new scooter. And the best part is how Slater raises his leg like this when he is “gliding”. This scooter is by far the best scooter I have seen around and Little Baby Bird Rock has them:) It’s called the Mini Micro Scooter by Micro Scooters America.
